I Went Walking…
As I mentioned in the email this week...heading out east was fun, but it was also a great reminder of the great environment we have here. Quality educators and supportive families make successful schools...and that is our situation. I really love the fact that I don't have to urge you to focus on instruction in a month that often gets lost with schedule changes, celebrations, and snow days. You make outstanding use of your instructional time and I truly appreciate that...well done!
What's Hoppening:
Above this post you will see our meeting calendar for the year. I have added PBIS meetings, All Staff Meetings, All School Meetings, and BLT Meetings. This is where Marcy will also add field trips and other events happening around school. If you are planning an activity or trip that you would like to add on your own please do so as well. Thanks!
- Friday is morning All Staff Collab...I know you will make use of the time.
- It appears that most people have either been through a formal eval or are in the process. Thank you for getting those scheduled.
- I'll have to resume classroom visits in January as December is getting away from us and we are only 4 days in! Feel free to schedule a classroom time in January with Marcy.
- There will be some work done over the break on the floors. I don't know if that will spill over into your rooms, but will let you know if that is the case.
- How are your evidence pieces coming for your growth goal?
